@DaisyMay25 thank you

@Cakelaur Yeah I think I’m going to get the boots one. It’s a bit cheaper too, preseed costs a small fortune 😳😂
@rdm10 haha!! Gotta do what you gotta do! 🤣
@Claire138 thank you! Hopefully this cycle is far less confusing than the last haha. I hope you’re doing okay and staying positive!! FX for h&h pregnancies for all! Same goes for you @Primrose hope everything is going well!
@Tefiti wow wedding in 4 weeks! You must be so excited hope you have a lovely day!!

Can someone tell me what tww fw stand for I'm a bit new to all this sorry if I sound silly

@Lilimum welcome! So sorry for your loss.
Oh all the lingo confused me at first too 🤣 here’s a few:
TTC - trying to conceive
TWW - two week wait
BFP - big fat positive
BFN - big fat negative
FW - fertile week
EWCM - egg white cervical mucus
HPT - home pregnancy test
OPK - ovulation predictor kit
POAS - pee on a stick
BD - baby dance
CD - cycle day
DPO - days past ovulation
I might have missed a few but that’s probably enough for you to take in right now haha!!

Hey ladies just checking in on the new thread.

@hayleyfx thank you very much they totally make sense now.

Hi everyone. Wondering if I can join please? I'm so sorry to hear of your losses. I've a little girl who is almost two. I had a little girl before her but she was born too soon. Since ttc my next I've had a couple of chemical pregnancies, an ectopic pregnancy and a mmc. My mind and body are reeling from everything that's happened in such a short space of time but I really really want to keep moving forward and try to keep believing.

@DaisyMay25 I'm not totally sure but my Flo app reckons 12dpo. But I realised today that if I ignore that and go by symptoms that usually show me I'm ovulating, I'm only 10dpo. My evening tests seem better than fmu ones too. So confusing!
@OntoTheThird I hope your scan went ok today, I was thinking of you
@hidcat I'm glad you're feeling so positive

@HidCat glad you are feeling more positive 👍
@Primrose16 and @Claire138 definitely stick around!! Hope you're both feeling ok. I had no symptoms with DS and he is perfect if it helps! Glad you had a nice weekend away @Claire
@DaisyMay25, @BabynameEdie, @zarala and @FireworksBaby I use a cream called fisiocrem. It's a bit expensive but lasts a long time and I find it really helps my back. That's interesting @zarala thankyou!! Will make sure I increase the ginger!
@DaisyMay25 perhaps try meditation? We've started doing it at work a bit and I find it so relaxing. Also yoga or Pilates, long walks, or any exercise really. I've found when I've gone to the gym lately I don't think about ttc and feel great afterwards! I still obsess in the tww so will have to remind myself of this too!!
@Lotty515, @Lilimum4 and @Ohmeohmy123 welcome and I'm so sorry for your losses. This is a lovely group and remember to be kind to yourselves and take as much time as you need.
@tefiti2 ooh so exciting!!! Was just telling DH I wish we could have another wedding. Enjoy every minute!!
@OntoTheThird I was thinking of you today too. How'd the scan go?

checking in so I can find you tomorrow when finally have time to post properly, thanks for the new thread @dulwichdays, big love to all xx

Thank you for the welcome and sorry for all of you ladies who find yourselves here x

Can I be added to the list? I posted in the last thread. PetraRabbit 42 C1 (if this refers to cycle?) TTC #2. No news from me. Still awaiting signs of ovulation or AF after my ERPC for MMC nearly 3 weeks ago. I was panicking about TTC as soon as I could but I've now decided waiting for AF may be healthier for me. Not sure why...just following instincts. I'm sure my issue is egg quality so the more time I'm taking Ubiquinol and fertlity vitamins the better really. I hate the idea of going through another loss.

Checking in. Our first cycle TTC. My body has changed since the miscarriage last summer. I never had ovulation pain before (now I do), have ovarian cysts and sometimes straight slight pain in the ovarian area, for it checked out the doctor said no issue, not sure how reliable it was.

Does any lady here have a longer cycle (32-34 days)? When do you normally ovulate? I want to track ovulation however boots OPKs have been useless keep saying I have no LH surge even though Flo says my ovulation day was yesterday.

Hello ladies just checking in. Will join the roll call when I know what is going on with this non-viable pregnancy, just lurking for now.

Morning everyone. Just checking in on the new thread. But marking my place back here as I've had loads of spotting! Scan on 11th which I pray has a heartbeat. But I'm not overly hopeful!! About to jump on a plane to mauritius!!! Whoop!! Love you all... I'm hoping I can check in on an off but fingers crossed anyone testing in the next 10 days and to all the DTD marathons and any TWWers!! Xx

@Smoothieyummy welcome. I have cycles between 30 and 34 days. The last 4 months have been 33, 32, 30 and 34. I've been using opks and bbt for the past two and found that I ovulated on day 17 and then the month later day 22. Last month my body was gearing up and I had ewcm and was getting darker lines but then it didn't happen until a week later. I use the one step ones from Amazon and from about day 14 do the opks 2-3 times a day. The last two cycles just when I thought the line wouldn't get any darker and maybe even started getting lighter, I've gotten my positive opk at about 11pm! If I only tested once a day I'd have missed it. I would pay more attention to the opks than your app. They are mostly designed for people with very regular 28 day cycles.

@Cakelaur I'm sure everything is fine. Have an amazing holiday and try to relax!!

@Smoothieyummy but some opks on Amazon. You get a decent amount for about £6 ish.

Flo was reading my Ov and Fw we're going to be happening next week. The app can't cope with the mc and I guess sees it as a rediculously (sp?) long cycle. I'm currently on day 11 of my cycle. Length is roughly 30 days or so which would make this my Fw! Using my opks to check and boy am I horny as hell soz Tmi!!

Hope everyone is doing well?

I seem to come in / out of this thread as I have to admit I find it hugely hard at times so find shutting off from social media helps.

Fertile week has just finished here - Cycle day 18 - Had positive ovulation results with clear blue on Thursday last week - it's Month 7 or 8 I've actually forgotten.

Have to say I don't 'feel' enthusiastic at all.

Although means we won't 'have' to dtd tonight which might be a nice change as it's been a 9 day marathon

Sorry to see there's plenty of names I recognise - But hope we see lots of BFP very very soon.

@Cakelaur I'm sure it's just your little bean getting extra comfy. Enjoy your holiday!!
@Patienceofatoddler 9 days! Wow that's commitment! Hopefully you get your bfp this month!

Placemarking! I've definitely finished bleeding now so hoping for a quick first cycle so we can get on with ttc again!

Have a lovely holiday cake!!

This thread is blink and you'll miss it quick! Hard to keep up.

DaisyMay– heres hoping your faint lines turn to BFPs. I find the best way to ‘relax’ is to give myself things to look forward to in the future and concentrate on. I’ll give ginger a go – good excuse to make ginger cake and cookies! And chocolate covered crystallised ginger!
Lilimum, Lotty515, ohmeohmy, petrarabbit and smoothiemummy– welcome, sorry you find yourselves here.
Hidcat – glad you are feeling a bit brighter, long may it continue
Dulwhichdays – thanks for the new thread.
Claire138 - glad you enjoyed the weekend away.
Sweetpea – I hope you get your answer soon, the waiting is so hard!
Tefiti – eek for the wedding, enjoy it!
Sloeberry – fx for a bfp
Cakelaur – enjoy your holiday, everything crossed for you.

Sorry if I missed anyone.

My app says AF due 3rd May and today I’ve had mild cramps, pink discharge and my IBS is ramping up so looks all set to be one time, so we can get trying.

badbad - good luck for this month

And everyone else in tww or shagathons!
